Omniweb application icon misbehaves

[übermac®™]

I know this has to be happening to other people, as it has happened on multiple installs of both 10.1.5, and 10.2 on my machine.

Ever notice that after you change the default icon of Omniweb to a custom icon, then place Omniweb in your dock, then open it, and then quit it; that the dock icon changes back to the default Omniweb icon? (However the actual icon in Applications is still the custom one).

This is strange. Its almost like Omniweb wants you to use the default icon. [X-Files theme plays]

This will not happen if you replace the icon from the command line. Yes, this isn't as friendly as the usual Mac way, but it works.

Open your Terminal, cd to /Applications/OmniWeb.app/Contents/Resources, and rename the file OmniWeb.icns. Copy in your replacement, and you're done.

With each release I replace this file (and the file Splash.tiff, btw) with files from a pre-4.1 build since Apple made OmniWeb change their icon to the ugly one they use now.
